Customized Enterprise Measurement Skills Training

Our customized online measurement skills training program is designed around your organization’s needs. Each element needed to bring your measurement program to the next level and into compliance with industry standards is customized to meet the specific requirements of your organization, industry, and marketplace.

We begin with a customized survey that you can administer to your team as well as leadership to determine what they see as the goals and objectives for your program. The survey also serves as an audit of current measurement practices and programs.

Once we have a good understanding of your organization’s needs and expectations around measurement, we conduct an interactive workshop to bring  all team members up to speed on the current standards and best practices in the field of measurement. The workshop will be taught by Katie Delahaye Paine.  Customized Online Training Programs begin at $5,000
